Current plan

" There's a limit to how much stress a person can handle. Keeping yourself stress-free/low-stress is key to maintaining a good mindset."

Just after the May Day holiday, before I could even celebrate my eldest finally going back to school and not having to juggle two kids alone—

my four-month-old entered another phase of milk aversion + irregular bowel movements. His discomfort made him increasingly hard to soothe, leaving me utterly exhausted.

As a mom exclusively breastfeeding, I handle nighttime parenting alone while also waking up early 2-3 days a week to take my eldest to school. Fragmented sleep and fatigue are the norm, and any free time goes toward catching up on rest.

Lately, with no time or energy for input or reflection, my output has become increasingly lackluster.

Regular updates now feel like a burden. Last week, I skipped a post because I simply had nothing to write.

I recalled a moment from *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People*, where the author tells his anxious, breastfeeding daughter: "You must allow yourself to slow down and focus on what matters most right now—caring for your baby and yourself."

After some thought, today I’ll share my current plans for writing and trading.

01—Stress-Free Writing

For writing, I plan to stop regular updates until my youngest can sleep through the night, switching to irregular posts instead.

I’ve long admired how Shanghai’s Twelve Young Masters practices stress-free writing—no fixed schedule, posting only when inspired.

When regular updates resume will be up to fate. As Twelve Young Masters recently said when asked why Soda Water (one of their top students, who turned six-figure capital into nine-figure gains in futures after two years of study) stopped posting:

"Soda Water has no obligation to post—only the teacher does."

Writing is just one of my hobbies. When energy is scarce, I’ll choose the stress-free approach for non-obligatory tasks.

02—Low-Stress Investing/Trading

For trading, my analysis revolves around applying the strategies from April’s two articles—

How to Handle Breakouts of Trendlines at Different Rates and Two Scenarios for Trend-Following Trades After Pullbacks—to familiar assets.

I’ll wait patiently for market movements that fit these strategies before deciding whether to participate.

With stress-free writing, I can devote more time to honing my trading skills and regaining my fitness.

As for tools, given my inability to monitor breakout points closely, I’ll opt for low- or no-leverage instruments like 2x long ETFs tracking $HSI.HK$ and $HSTECH.HK$.

Recently, I used $hk07226$ (CSOP 2x Long HSTECH ETF) to test my approach and didn’t miss this rally.

As shown above, I entered the ETF at a fuzzy stabilization point for HSTECH, added once (though prematurely, so I trimmed it back), then left it alone due to time constraints.

After the U.S.-China tariff news spurred a gap fill, I reduced some exposure during Tuesday’s dip. The position is now up 20%+, making this a solid trade overall.

Low-leverage tools suited for fuzzy entries enable low-stress swing trading:

No need to watch for precise breakout entries—just set wide stops at probable stabilization zones, trail to breakeven, and check at market close.

This mirrors the principle of holding only positions that let you sleep soundly.

Whether in writing or trading, I’ve chosen stress-free/low-stress approaches amid heavy parenting demands.

There's a limit to how much stress a person can handle. Keeping yourself stress-free/low-stress is key to maintaining a good mindset.

High-leverage, tight-stop breakout trading is stressful, but low/no-leverage fuzzy entries with wide stops are far less taxing.

I regret not being able to provide regular content, but I hope for your understanding.

Wishing all friends prosperous investments and happy families this year.

Hope my sharing helps—see you next time.
